How could this be?

Didn't Trump promise "4%, maybe even 6%" annual GDP growth? What happened?
Yes, but Trump supporters will tell you there is plenty of time for that to happen, but you have to vote in 2020 to reelect Trump.

The economy had to go up since it was at a low. The question is did the government regulations help the economy grow or slow it down.

Business Insider has a great article : Congress just kicked Trump's trade deal in the teeth for all the right reasons.
Two bills were passed by Congress The Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act and the Uyghur Human Rights Act. Both bills were passed by unanimous consent and McConnell was not needed to bring the bill to vote. Under unanimous consent, one senator can derail the vote, but no one did and it is veto proof. While both bills stand up for human rights, it also has the potential to destroy Trump's trade deal. Will it effect the economy? Time will tell. A trade deal is looking less and less likely.

Sometimes its better to remain silent and let people wonder if you are clueless, rather than speak and prove them correct.

Now, one need not be an economist to understand basic cause and effect, especially when its so obvious. Tax cuts, deregulation, the correction of horrible trade deals, and incentives for US manufacturing has led to the unprecedented turn around in the US economy, and remarkable employment numbers.

This is absolutely a result of Trump economic policies .... not magical gifts from the Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy.

I don't understand why some consider record unemployment a bad thing. surely, people supporting their families do not consider being employed a bad thing.
63% of the population are withdrawn from the workforce ... factor those folks in and see how it comes out.
